Baseball and weed

The new article about the Steinert baseball player arrested for weed and trespassing just seems like this is an everyday common occurrence nowadays, but I think what shocked me the most was the player was allowed to pitch the next day. Tells you everything you need to know about the Steinert baseball program. Why was this player allowed to play and he wasn’t suspended while the investigation was performed. Just follow the same reasoning that the coach [accused of beating] his girlfriend still had his job up until The Trentonian exposed the facts. Seems this school, especially this program, has a lot of undercover issues and just seems like they’re sweeping it under the rug until your paper prints these stories. Just want to say keep up the good work. I’m sure you guys are now taking a lot of heat and a lot of tough times for publishing these stories about this prestigious program, but keep up the good work and keep us informed.

We are catching heat from Hamilton people, but they are the same ones who call to throw the book at Trenton kids who are busted for the same things. Gotta love the double standard.

Striking teachers

Arizona teachers are on strike too. What is this country going to smarten up and educated the citizens and the youth. That’s what will make America great again.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what those striking teachers want to do. They want to get paid fairly to do it and fund programs instead of cutting programs and stagnating wages.
